Rats won’t take stuff from curdling station

I wanted to completely automate the process of making cheese. I have create and rats installed and made a pretty good "cheese factory" which should be supplying food for the server. I used to have the curdling stations bare exposed for everyone to take, but my competitors kept stealing curdling stations. Now I got some rats with platter and wing upgrades which should be taking the cheese blocks and putting them into chests, but they simply can't take anything from the curdling station. They can transport, just can't take anything from the station. Just sitting there. Already been through a server restart, no changes.Anyone know a fix?
